Hi friends - I'm sure everyone is having loads of fun decorating for Christmas - hope it is turning out just as you had planned. I wanted to share some pictures of my "previous" Christmas porch - this was two years ago at our old home. These pictures are just to remind you not to forget your "outside" room. We enjoyed our screened in porch a great deal - even when it was a bit chilly outside. Needless to say - it was pretty much the main entrance of our home - so that is why I always tried a bit harder to keep it decorated. Now, I'll have to say - my style has changed a lot in the last two years - I have a much more "simple" look now than before - but I still loved it - and it was a great way to say "Welcome to our home".

Here we go...

lots of aqua, red and silver...

..."icey" snowflakes from the Dollar Tree...

...a lil' tree in a box decorated with fresh greens and some "left over" ornaments...

...another tree tucked in a rustic sleigh...

...watering cans all lined up - each of these a gift from my sweet papaw...

...burlap tied over the benches made from an old bed - handcrafted by my other precious grandfather... Be sure to nestle in fresh greens along with some pretty ribbon...

I went outside to unplug the lights on the porch - and I stopped to look in my kitchen window. It made me happy. It looked bright and cheerful and I had just cleaned up after baking some for Thanksgiving. But it is not the "things" inside the window that make me happy - it is the "love" inside that makes me smile. It was a calm, peaceful night at home and I just love that.

Hi friends - Happy November - now that it is over half gone - so sorry I've not checked in. I've been decorating a bit and I'll share soon. But first things first - this Saturday our local homemakers are having their Christmas Bazaar and I'll be there.

I love our Green County Extension Agent - Miss Audrey, I love our great town and all the talented people in it plus I just love people so I'm really looking forward to being there...
